Our Process

All Advisors are not created equal!

You’re probably not a stranger to the ‘all advisors are alike’ school of thinking. We believe we bring something different to the table.

• We follow a disciplined, and proven, approach to establishing a professional relationship with you, our clients.

• We follow a prescribed, ongoing communication template in which we’ll establish and confirm your expectations and then proceed to deliver against.

The Personal Wealth Management Strategy

We deliver a comprehensive approach to financial life.

How? It starts with a Dream Journal.

There’s an old saying that ‘if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do’. That’s why we begin where it’s always best to start: with a strategy! Let’s articulate what your destination looks like.

How do you feel when you get to that goal?

Now let’s head back to where you are today and put a comprehensive picture of that together. Once those two pictures are in place, it’s our job to chart a course from today to your dream future. This plan will be effective, easy to stick to and focused specifically on your goals.

Our roadmap to your financial goals will include:

Cash Flow and insurance planning

Portfolio management

Tax and Estate planning

Once we have a plan in place, we believe it is important to stay on course. Regularly measuring, and celebrating, your successes will not only keep you on course, but also keep you motivated.

Our structured, step-by-step process means that our team will be able to effectively integrate all facets of your financial life, uncover new opportunities, or make changes to your established plan as necessary.

Our Commitment is Our Word

The Cost of Advice

Understanding the different fee models and what each gets you is the start of any good planning exercise.

The Value of Advice

One-and-done is not how financial plans work. Life takes you places, priorities change, and your plans need to keep up. That’s where independent advisors, like us, can help keep you on your financial course.
